TTL is good, but your focus lights and other all light must be turned off when flash firing, otherwise, it will be overexposed. For real TTL you have to use sony flashes in the housing with full electrical connection.

That is... not how it works. That is not how any of it works.

You don't need an extra dof. The dof of f8 is even too much for the objects in your photos. You will only shoot the moment you focus on it. No waiting, you have to hunt the image. The moment the object moves out of focus, the dof does not capture it in the right focus. This thinking is wrong. Even if it stays in DOF, the object cannot come out clearly. You are there, try it and see for yourself and say I did, look what happened.

Wonderful, professor; now mind showing off your images that you've taken using these settings? If you don't want to go diving to do it, let's say you simulate it - shoot a flying insect (moth, fly, mosquito), at night, in darkness, with handheld lights and camera, while jogging.
